Naming His Drink.

Why did ask that gentleman what he
would have when l know that he has
drank nothing but whisky and lemon for
twenty years9 Because it is our policy
always to ask the question. Suppose that
you did not know that gentleman, and he
came in, and without saying word
would put up whisky and lemon, what
would you think? Why, you would say
to yourself, "That man is an old stager
here. There Is no need Of asking him
what he wants; they know him." SO we

Because He Cannot CoRscientf0uslY
Garry Out the Views of the Admins
tratiOn.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-Land Commits
sioner Sparks personally rendered his resig-
nation to the President this afternoon, &C
companying it with letter defending his
course in the Chicago, st. Paul, Minneapolis
and Omaha land grant case. In conclusion
he says: cit is but just to say that the pub
lished communication addressed to me and
laid before you is no answer to my letter ap
plying for review. The issue raised by me
was strictly one of law. The presentation of
the issue was strictly in the line of legal
gument. In the letter addressed TO me that
issue is not met and the effect has been to
create the erroneous impression that the
issue was one of authority alone and that I
have refused to execute the Secretarys official
orders. This diversion of the issue from one
of legal construction to one Of au-
thority and insubordination is the sub
stltution of force for argument; a diver
sion of the public mind from
the merits ST the case, and if not resisted by
me IN this presentation to you would be the
suppression by the power of proper and
eonslderate effort on my part as the commits
sioner of the general land Office to secure in
the public interest an impartial hearing be-
fore the Secretary of the Interior on purely
legal question affecting the administration of
the Office with which 1 am charged. The
Office of commissioner of the general land
Office has been one of intense labor, imposing
a constant sense of high responsibility. Hav
ing sought it at your hands have continued
to hold it only out of a sense of duty, with
view of effecting some good to the public I
have endeavored to discharge my full duty
in it, in the face of many discouragements
and much calumny and. much abuse
from those whose interests were to
defeat the policies pursued. I have believed
my line of action to be correct, and thought
I had reason for the belief that it met your
If these decisions foreshadowed
change in official policy this subject.
knowing well what this will mean in practi-
cal application, could not, of course, with
my sense of duty be the instrument to effect
the change. Having ever, as now, regarded
the commission hold from you subject to
your recall, and desiring to release you of
any possible embarrassment herewith ten
der you my resignation of the Office of COM
missioner of the general law Office and ask its
early acceptance.

General Sheridan Gives the Condition
of Our Standing Army.

General Sheridan Gives the Condition
of Our Standing Army.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-The annual report
of Lieutenant General P. H. Sheridan shows
that the army now consists of 1900 officers
and "a, 236 men. The general states that it
is his intention to assemble at an early day
board of officers to consider what revision
is necessary in tactics with the view of plac-
ing the army more completely in harmony
with the advanced methods of conducting
war. Both the drill and discipline of the men
and efficiency of the army for service, the
general says, would be much enhanced by
increasing by 5000 men the present enlisted
strength of the army, and to still further per-
feet the organization of the infantry army
two majors and two companies should be
added to each regiment. The measure which
would most promote efficiency of the service,
the general says, would be the passage of a
law authorizing the immediate retirement of
those officers-about eighty in number
in which cases such action has already been
recommended by military boards or who
have for some time been absent on account of
sickness from their command with but little
prospect of ultimate recovery. Thsir enforced
continuation on the active list though doing
no duty has left companies without their
proper complement of officers and brought
additional labor on others while at the same
time depriving them of merited promotion.
The magazine gun, the general thinks, must
be the arm of the future. He suggests that
the efforts of Lieutenant Zalinski in the mat
ter of pneumatic guns should be encouraged
and strongly favors extension of all possible
aid by the general government to the Nation
al Guard of the different States, Gas they
constitute body of troops that in any great
emergency wonld form important part of
our military force"

VIII Walk cut To-Day.
BERLIN, Nov. 15.-The swelling in the
Crown Princes throat has almost disap-
peared He will walk out tomorrow, the
weather permitting, for the first time in a
week He has decided to remain at San
Reno for this winter. Prince Henry will
pass Christmas with his father.
The present growth in the Crown Princes
throat consists of gradual increase. AS the
Prince has declared himself opposed to the
extirpation of the whole larynx difficulty of
breathing will sooner or later arise and
probably necessitate tracheotomy. The
physicians recommend that he spend the
winter in the south where it will be more
possible to maintain his present strength
Precautions have been taken at San Reno to
have surgical assistance in readiness in case
tracheotomy is decided upon. The Reichs
Anzeigerl makes the statement that during
the examination at San Reno of the Crown
Princes larynx the physicians were able to
ascertain that the maiady consisted of a
malignant new growth, mainly situated be-
low the left vocal chord and back of the
margin of the larynx. Small beginnings of
growth were also perceptihle on the right
side. Up to this time the ailment has been
local and has not affected the Crown
Princes general health but now there is
danger.

g BOMB THROWN INTO a FACTORY

The Explosion is Terrific but Fortu.
HatelY Causes No Loss of Life.
DUBUQUE, Ia, Nov. ia bomb was ex-
ploded in tho Iowa iron works at a late hour
last night. The works are running night
force and some twenty workmen employed
on a large boiler in the boiler shop were
startled by terrific explosion about fifteen
to twenty feet away on the other side of the
boiler. The bomb, which was picked up,
was made of inch and a half gas pipe about
two feet long. One end was still intact,
plugged up with a cap, while hole was
made in the pipe near it for fuse. The
pipe was split in several phases. Fortunately
the explosion was all in one direction-away
the buildings were set on fire, but speedily
extinguished by the men. No other damage
was done. 1t is a miracle that there was not
a great loss of life. It is supposed the bomb
was thrown in through an open window.
The works have had no trouble with their
men, but have been running double force
for nine months. The theory is that the
bomb was prepared by someone having a
grudge against the workmen or else by an
out and out Anarchist. Tt was filed with
either dynamite or gun cotton.
An inspectors House Blown Up.
ORANGEvILLE, Ont, Nov. 15.-The house
of Inspector Anderson was again blown up
by dynamite tonight. The charge was
placed on the verandah at the front of the
house and two rooms were badly shattered.
The verandah is a complete wreck. Mrs.
Anderson, who was alone in the house, was
sitting beside the stove in the dining room
and was badly shocked. The inspector had
just left the house and was not only about
ten yards away when the explosion occurred.
He was stunned by the conclusion. A note
was found tackled to the fence warning him
to desist from his efforts to enforce the pro-
hibition laws now in operation and stating
that he might congratulate himself that he
had not been blown to kingdom come. Sew
oral hotel keepers have been fined for violat-
ing the law and it ia a notable coincidence
that dynamite explosions always occur after
liquor men have been fined for breaking the
aw. Intense excitement prevails. This is
The sixth dynamite explosion that has oc-
cured in Orangeville in two years. The
perpetrators are unknown.

dividing the plot has been named Cassius
